[rox-devel] OT <spam>

Just as FYI, Yahoo has a very, very good spam filter. I probably get around 75 spams a day, but I
only see about 5 of them, as they are automatically forwarded to my Bulk Mail folder. Very nice,
indeed.
It just amazes me that it is actaully profitable to sent spam. Do they really get enough of a
response?

Give it a little more time. There's been very little spam on this list
until now, and I would say that one individual spammer who hits it a
few times in one day doesn't warrant closing.
IMO the benefits (less spam) don't outweigh the drawbacks of subscriber
only, yet.
Also, are these the only spams you got yesterday? If so, lucky you. They
are only a very tiny fraction of what I get daily - most of which is sent
to personal addresses. The joys of an visible online presence :-/

Filip
